Thanks everyone for taking the time to write, so nice to hear I'm not alone!! Will persevere xx

Lovely title for a Sunday morning! Any help from EDFs much appreciated. My 5yo continues to have accidents with her wees. Usually not "full ones" i.e. Just damp knickers at the end of the day. But also nighttime is a struggle (lifting but often still happens. But yesterday she had a "full" one randomly on the swings. We are trying our hardest not to get frustrated. We are mainly worried about her and impact it's having. We've been to the docs and they say it's not uncommon and will pass but I want to try and help her, as no improvement is coming (only temporary redtbite then we revert). Any advice for us to try and help her is much appreciated x

Space at 61 in Nunhead?

I know people who diy it, but those people have more time than me!! I'm in financial services with a tax experts mother but would still be too scared... 😊 I also use nannypaye and have done for years. Highly recommend. When in doubt we call them, on so many issues. They do more than just do what you're asking. My nanny is on mat leave and they've sorted all of that, and are currently running 2 employees for me (my nanny and her mat cover), all for one annual subscription.

Bread Street Kitchen on Sundays does loads of entertainment for kids, and they eat free!

I've never been, but hubby v keen to take 5 and nearly 4 year old to ski in Feb half term, or end March. I'll have a 8 month old too, and are going just us 5. Does anyone have any recommendations for a resort? Maybe with a nursery so I could "give it a go" (eeek) but mainly one that'll make the kids love skiing and my holiday easy!! Thanks EDF!

Great thanks!

As the big "H" falls on (a) Monday and (b) first day back, are people still planning on doing trick or treating on the actual day or on the Sunday? Just trying to be prepared!!

Thanks buggie that's really useful. I'd want it for no 3 as others had it, although no 3 got Men B unlike the others, so nothing is fair I guess!!

Really? I have a 4 month old, assumed you had a year (like my other two!). No ones even mentioned it to me this time.... How annoying!! Sorry no help on your question... Health Hub at Herne Hill always gets mentions on here...

I'm thinking about sending my 5 year old to rainbows. I did a lot of brownies and guiding as a child / young person and gave terrific memories. I was never a rainbow though. In particular, we aren't religious and whilst I personally can't remember much past church parade as a brownie/guide, but maybe I've just forgotten. Is religion a large part of meetings? Does it depend on the pack? Thanks so much for any thoughts either by PM or reply.

I've got the same set up and have been told ?12nph by agencies. Gulp. It also been told that the trend have moved more to gross contracts over the past year with the introduction of pensions (although advertising seems to be remaining nph).

We went and was a great success. As you say, scary bits but nothing they couldn't handle. Highly recommended.

My 5 and 3 year old are desperate to see the BFG as they love the old film (David Jason etc). But it's a PG.... Have others taken similar ages? They're quite robust, and handled the original fine. Any thoughts?

I would be I interested to hear any thoughts too, thanks

Deepa is amazing - best massage ever. Mobile and accomodating of kids, I saw her in my third pregnancy and just after and so she is used to kids http://www.deepaliving.com

No kids there myself but I have a number of friends who have people there and they absolutely adore it. Logistics didn't work for us to go there but the decision was made with a heavy heart.

Thanks all I've got hold of Judith!

Thanks for all the advice, we'll have a look at all of these and cross our fingers somewhere has availability!! Thanks much

It's all a bit last minute due to new arrival and baby, but we want to go away in first week in August in the UK with a 5 yr, 3 yr and 2 month old. We need something easy!! Any ideas greatfully received.... Thanks!!

Hi I just tried this email, but it didn't work? Does anyone have up to date contact for the Kings milk bank? Many thanks

She's been mentioned on here before, but I thought it was time for an updated recommendation. Margaret lives locally and is an expert on ERF car seats. I have used her for a number of years now, and today she got 3 seats for my 5 yr, 3 yr and 4 week old in a row for me. She gives great advice and has a great range of seats (the one I gave has lots of space left in it for my 5 year old). Her Facebook is https://www.facebook.com/RearFacingToddlers/ for more info....

Definitely agree with straight to pants, we bought some reusable pull ups which hold a wee (if small) but served only to confuse! Buy lots of pants and go for it, much easier in the long run. We did reusable as night but they were dry once they'd trained so only for a week or so, or as Pickle says just use Eco pull ups. PM if you'd like to borrow some reusable pull ups to try out. Good luck!!

I know there's been similar threads before, but struggling to find them so thought I'd reignite the age old discussion.... I have about 10 meals I rotate, a lot involve meat which I don't eat and, whilst my kids do, they have a lot at nursery/school so would prefer less meat options... So sick of looking in the fridge and larder and being completely stumped!! Thanks in advance for sharing your secret weapon meals!!!

I've always understood that if you give notice after Easter your liable for first terms fees as well as deposit, before it's just the deposit. at least that's how I've always understood it. its to deter a lot of late movement I guess? When did you withdraw?
